Hello!
My name is Justin Stanley. I have been teaching violin, viola, cello, piano, and guitar lessons for 13 years. I have taught in elementary, middle, and high school orchestra classes, and private lessons to students of ages 3-adult. I teach beginners to advanced and different genres of music from classical to pop music from the radio. I look forward to working with you and achieving your musical goals!

Experienced strings teacher of 5 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I have twelve years' experience as a violinist in solo, chamber, and orchestral settings. I structure my lessons so students learn a variety of music styles according to their personal interests, while also building a strong foundation of technique, music-reading, and ear-training skills. I specialize in classical repertoire (solo and ensemble), and start beginning violinists in the Suzuki method. (Please ask me if you have questions about this! :)

I've been teaching violin for about 6 years and am currently pursuing my Doctorate of Musical Arts in Performance at CU-Boulder. Having taught as a private teacher for younger students as well as a Teaching Assistant for a String Methods class in my undergrad, I am extremely comfortable working with a wide range of ages and skill levels. I teach classical and Suzuki style, as well as basic music theory, note-reading, and other skills based on the student's needs and skill set.

I am a professional violinist who also holds a valid VA teaching license. I focus on student-centered learning to make sure everyone gets the instruction they need. Whether you're looking to start on the right foot, get ahead in school, or take your playing to the next level, I'm here to help!

Gina studied violin at the Hartt School of Music, University of Hartford. She had been teaching violin since 2003. She has played in many ensembles, including Colchester Civic Orchestra (concertmaster), Chapel Hill Philharmonia, Chapel Hill Chamber Players, White Iris Light Opera Orchestra, and Good Shepherd Chamber Players. She currently plays with the South Coast Symphony Orchestra and with Tesoro, violin-guitar jazz duo.
Gina's students participate in recitals, ensembles, have recording opportunities, and have competed in auditions and competitions.

I have six years' professional experience teaching privately, and I specialize in Classical, Jazz, and Popular styles. I use a patient approach to accommodate each student's unique learning styles, challenges, and interests. While each student will have a personalized experience, all the necessary fundamentals will be covered, including technique, note reading, music theory, and ear training. Send me a message letting me know what your goals are. I can't wait to make music with you!

My teaching philosophy is that music is for ALL ages and ALL abilities. I love teaching foremost because of the connection between student and teacher; I have been really blessed to have some wonderful mentors throughout my life, and I value being able to mentor others. I am here as a teacher to see you for your unique set of strengths, interests, and goals.

I have taught violin lessons locally for the past 8 years, and have studied under some of the finest teachers in Utah, including Monte Belknap, director of the Violin Performance program at BYU.

I am a classically trained musician with extensive experience in both the classical and contemporary worlds of performance. As a senior in high school, I performed with the Utah Symphony. In college I was a member of the BYU Philharmonic and Chamber Orchestras. I have recorded professionally in the Utah and Salt Lake Counties for the past 7 years, featuring a range of local/national albums, NBA commercials, and network television ...

I have experience teaching all ages! I have taught ages three-adult. I specialize in beginner and intermediate lessons. My teaching style has always been student lead, making it both educational and fun!

I've been teaching for 21 years, and 18 years as a full-time university professor. For beginners, I use the Suzuki literature, and gradually add exercises and studies, depending on the technical needs. For more experienced students, I use a variety of other methods. I'm a very positive and encouraging person, and students walk away with a broad smile and feeling of satisfaction!
